[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1776974, member: 12520"] Not sure if it falls in the ‘hate’ category, but definitely frustrating: Trying to spell my last name to someone over the phone. My last name has only 5 letters in it but four of them end with the “E” sound. I didn’t think I had a speech impediment but I don’t think anyone has ever got all five letters in the first run through so maybe I do. Then when they get it right there is almost always a pause on the line then they say “Oh, just like it sounds!” Sometimes I just spell it out using the phonetic alphabet but that also seems to confuse many, especially the younger ones. It gets worse with my email address. [/QUOTE]
